Jason and Brett jump into 2010 with a podcast, joined by two guests, Jason Cecil, current Southeast Director for Young Democrats of America and immediate past president ofYoung Democrats of Georgia, and Jimmie Bise, political and pop culture commentator atThe Sundries Shack blog and The Delivery podcast.

The discussion went so well (and long), they split the podcast into two installments, with the first part available here.  In the first part, they discussed:

• TSA reacting to the Christmas Day terrorist attack aboard Northwest’s Flight 253
• The inclusion of Yemen as a front in the war on terror
• Senator Tom Harkin’s likely re-introduction of filibuster reform legislation
  • A brief history of the filibuster used in the discussion
  • The myth of bipartisanship used in the discussion
• Sen. Ben Nelson trailing an unannounced opponent by 31 points in a recent poll

The continuation into the second part of the podcast contains discussion of:

• An update on the story of Jonathan Ayers, a Georgia pastor killed by police.
• A bill proposed to collect DNA upon arrest.
• “Goodies” for banks found in Rep. Barney Frank’s HR 4173
• The end of a successful, popular DC school voucher program by US Congress
